Answer to Problem 48E
As the foci approach the center you get a circle.
As the foci approach the vertex of the major axis, you get a line
Explanation of Solution
Given information: Critical Thinking: As the foci of an ellipse move farther apart with the major axis fixed
Calculation:
You are to imagine that a string of fixed length is attached to the foci creating the ellipse. As you move the foci outward, the length of the string doesn’t change. The string will tighten to a line.
As the foci approach the center you get a circle.
As the foci approach the vertex of the major axis, you get a line.
